I have a kickr, MacBook with ANT+ and a flat screen tv in front of me. I have been using TR and watching TV. If I want to do a ride where the kickr will match the resistance to the bike route I see on my TV , WHATS THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THIS. I’m not all that tech savvy.
Sufferfest videos + TR will do that.
I f you really have time on your hands you can use the TR workout creator to build a custom workout for a video that you tailor the workout to.
A lot of work in advance but the payoff would be what you are looking for.
That I’ve been told. It’s the “how” that I need help with.
I have not done this myself but I can tell you what my understanding is.
You have to have the video file in an acceptable format. So download from YouTube and convert to .mp4.
In Workout Creator you create a new custom workout and select the video option. You add the video to the viewing window and then you can scroll through it and add segments with the %FTP varying corresponding to what is going on on screen.
I am fairly certain that the help section on TR goes into more detail as well.
Cheers
Thanks,
I do think , from what I’ve heard , there is a lazier way to do it.
Where the workout is already matched to the terrain
virtual trainer does this. Not sure on selection of courses as I have only tried a couple but you can pic a route, then hit start…

Isnt it able to use goggle earth and adjust the resistance to any route?? I thouhgt that was one of the selling points for folks.
What is “virtual trainer”?
It’s an app. Saw it on dcraonmaker review. Search virtual training in the App Store.
Ps maybe the shameless plug will get me a free month. Jokes aside it works well and best I’ve found for ipad.
It’s an app. Saw it on dcraonmaker review. Search virtual training in the App Store. Probably meant Kinomap Trainer, an iOS app. AFAIK, nothing like that yet on OS X.
